<h2><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6352362.ece">Peter Foster - "Tony Blair's the daddy" - Times Online</a></h2>
<p class="posted"><span class="posttime">Sun, 24 May 2009 06:09:18 GMT/ <b>Times Online,  UK</b></span><span class="comments"><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6352362.ece">Go to article</a></span></p>

<p>"Who would want to do  business  with an ex-convict and certainly a person with my reputation?" he says, adding: "Money doesn't interest me. "When you've had a lifetime of making money and spending money, you find that it's the most uninteresting thing," </p>
<blockquote><p> Notorious conman Peter Foster has claimed on Australian radio that Tony Blair might have fathered the baby of Carole Caplin, Foster's ex girlfriend and a former confidant of Cherie Blair. Foster, recently released from prison after serving one third of a seven year sentence for money laundering in Australia, also repeats discredited claims that Tony and Cherie Blair used offshore trusts to avoid paying British taxes. Foster, who infamously helped Cherie Blair buy two cut price flats in Bristol makes the claims in an interview on ABC Radio National which will be aired this morning. "When I was still dating Carole, when she was pregnant with our child at that stage, there were communications between myself and my lawyer because I had very real concerns about the relationship between Tony and Carole and the possible parenting of the child," he tells the Sunday Profile programme. "I had reason to believe that perhaps there was a possibility he was the father," he says. He also complains about the fallout from the Bristol flats scandal, which became knowns as Cherie-gate. Mrs Bair was forced to apologise in 2002 for misleading the public over her dealings with the fraudster. "When we were talking about Cherie-gate, we were talking about this massive amount of criticism that came in against Peter Foster because he assisted Cherie Blair and Tony Blair buying a couple of flats," he said. "But it's amazing how Tony seems to have got himself into trouble only this week on a mortgage without anything to do with me. "Here's a mortgage controversy that's engulfed him and has nothing to do with Peter Foster. "Maybe the Blairs' ability to buy property and perhaps take advantage of politician's expenses claims is something they can do without the conman," he says. Foster, a serial conman who has served time in prison in the UK and America, was found guilty in 2007 of fraudulently obtaining $300,000 from the Bank of the Federated States of Micronesia. He had claimed the money was to build a resort in Fiji but instead used it to repay his credit card debt and rent on his girlfriend's Gold Coast home. His attempts to evade capture at the time led to a chaotic police chase in Fiji that ended with his arrest in his underpants as he tried to wade across a river to escape pursuing police officers. He has consistently claimed to have a "smoking gun" against the Blairs and has previously said he suspected Mr Blair and Ms Caplin had an intimate relationship, a claim dismissed by both Ms Caplin and Downing Street. Comparing himself with Australian mogul Alan Bond, who also served time in jai for deception, the self-pitying conman complains in the interview that he suffers "the same problems of trust after coming out of prison," and declares he is no longer interested in business or money, but now just wants to find love . "Who would want to do business with an ex-convict and certainly a person with my reputation?" he says, adding: "Money doesn't interest me. "When you've had a lifetime of making money and spending money, you find that it's the most uninteresting thing," he adds. "You know what would interest me in the future? It's finding a soulmate, finding someone that I could have children with, have a nice life with and give my mum grandchildren. "Freedom's important, your health is important and happiness, and anyone who thinks that money is a barometer to happiness is on the wrong track completely."</blockquote></p></div>

<blockquote><p> A   6.5-million revamp of the Asda supermarket in Bedminster is being unveiled next month. The makeover, which started in February, is expected to create 40 new jobs which will mostly be checkout operators and shop floor assistants. There are already 440 people employed at the store, which opened in 1988. About 70,000 shoppers visit the 24-hour store every week, and the new improved version will be much larger with a different layout. A bigger sales floor has been created by reclaiming part of the store's warehouse, adding 13,000 square feet of space. The George department, which will have three checkouts instead of two, will be based on the car park side of the store. Groceries and food will be on the East Street side while the pharmacy has re-located from the foyer to the back wall, together with music and video and other counters. The new store, which opens on June 8, will have 31 checkouts instead of 23. There will be four self-scan checkouts. Store manager Tim Jackson said: "The new-look counters, refrigeration and more checkouts, including extra self-scan units, are all designed to make shopping in the store a more enjoyable and rewarding experience." The makeover coincides with the store's 21st anniversary this year. Mr Jackson said: "I am really looking forward to unveiling our new look store to our existing loyal customers and to welcoming new customers. I hope they will all enjoy the spacious new look and extended George range. On behalf of all the store colleagues, I want to welcome everyone to the store and I am looking forward to meeting and greeting existing and new customers in the coming weeks as they check us out." One member of staff, Jenny Parkman, has worked at Asda Bedminster since it opened in 1988 and is excited about the store being even bigger and better. She said: "It's great news for Bedminster and all of us who work here. It's a great place to work and we look forward to welcoming our customers, new and old and to helping them save money every day."</blockquote></p></div>

<blockquote><p> England coasted to a six-wicket victory over the misfiring West Indies at Bristol to take a 1-0 NatWest Series lead. Stuart Broad (four for 46) and occasional seamer Paul Collingwood (three for 16) did Andrew Strauss proud, after he had chosen to bowl first upon detecting a tinge of green in a pacy pitch. The England captain's judgment proved sound, which was much more than could be said for any of the Windies batsmen - among whom only Dwayne Bravo ever looked set for the long haul required on a glorious day. On a surface which had plenty of runs in it for anyone patient enough to wait before launching the big shots, the tourists were all out for 160 in double-quick time. England found themselves batting before the lunch break and soon lost Strauss caught via a mistimed flick to leg off the pace of Jerome Taylor. New number three Matt Prior glided a cut at Darren Sammy much too fine to slip, where Chris Gayle juggled but held the catch - and Ravi Bopara missed a clip to leg off Bravo to go lbw with a half-century in his sights. But Owais Shah and Collingwood then made no mistake in a stand of 76 which helped to put the tourists out of their misery, with an embarrassing 14 overs unnecessary. West Indies' batsmen had earlier threatened occasionally to recover from a horrendous start - seven for two - but never actually did so. Gayle's response to losing his opening partner Lendl Simmons and then Ramnaresh Sarwan for ducks to Broad was predictable counter-attack. Simmons went lbw on the back foot, and Sarwan caught behind driving at a length ball. Far from choosing to dig in alongside Shivnarine Chanderpaul, though, Gayle launched a flurry of boundaries. He then hit Graeme Swann's first ball for a huge six over long-on, only to be bowled by the off-spinner's next delivery when he got into a tangle aiming for another maximum. Chanderpaul and Bravo (50) put on 63 to carry West Indies into three figures with only three wickets down. But Tim Bresnan surprised Chanderpaul with a little extra pace - and after the left-hander had been easily caught by Strauss via a faulty pull, the West Indies never hinted at a significant recovery. Sixth bowler Collingwood was rewarded for a sensible spell as the tourists refused to retrain their sights and kept trying to hit their way out of trouble. Collingwood's most important success was bowling Bravo, who played all round a decent delivery for a disappointing departure after a 55-ball half-century containing six fours and one six. The remainder of the batsmen got themselves out, and there were some comedy moments along the way - not least Taylor's self-inflicted run-out after he set off for a non-single and then slipped mid-pitch. A blameless Sammy was therefore left unaccompanied with 11.3 overs unused.</blockquote></p></div>
